South Bend, IN -- Notre Dame was able to come back and beat #17 Penn State to start their 2013 campaign at 2-0. Penn St was able to take advantage of costly red zone interceptions by Tommy Reis early on and take a 10-0 lead at the 6 minute mark in the second quarter. Notre Dame's defense tightened and the offense put up 10 straight points thanks to some fine blocking by the offensive line to open up monster holes for running back Cameron Roberson.

Tommy Rees played better in the second half and was able to connect on two touchdown passes. One went to Davaris Daniels on an 86 yard bomb. The other came on a 1-0 yard hitch route that TJ Jones was able to turn into a 57 yard touchdown.

#16 Florida 31
#10 Baylor 17
Gainesville, FL -- It was over as soon as WR Quinton Dunbar touched the opening kick and brought her all the way back for a 7-0 lead. The Gators were mindful of a looming matchup with Ole Miss and simply came out and ran the ball all over Baylor. Gators running backs combined for over 300 yards rushing and 2 TDS. Leading the Gators was Senior Mack Brown who had 265 yards on 33 carries while adding 2 scores.

UCLA got a total team effort on the day against their foe, the offense racking up 300 yards and the defense surrendering 47 yards total. Including sacks, Portland State put up an embarassing -32 yards rushing on 18 attempts. Six Bruin sacks skew that number however, led by junior defensive tackle Kevin McReynolds 2 sacks. Three UCLA defensive backs gnabbed an interception- sophomore FS Anthony Thompson, senior SS's Dietrich Riley and Stanjarvius McKay. Junior outside backer Aramide Olaniyan led the defense with 6 tackles.​

Offensively UCLA broke in redshirt freshmen John Mayfield and Eric Walker. Mayfield started the game, and looks to be the head man in the offense thanks to his superior athleticism and ability to throw the ball, as Coach Neuheisel put it, "good enough to keep defenses honest." Mayfield went 5-10 for 94 yards and 2 TDs; however the youngster also tossed an interception. Walker went 2-2 for 20 yards in mop up duty. Running backs Malcom Jones, Jordon James, and Jeff Garner combined for 183 yards and 2 TDs on the ground to lead the offense. The receiving corps were led by seniors Ricky Marvay and Shaquelle Evans who each caught a TD in a limited air attack.​

The special teams showed up as well, as junior kicker Kip Smith went 2-2 on field goals with a long of 46 and 7-7 on XP's. Return man Brandon Sermons posted 187 return yards, and returned a punt 76 yards to the house. Look for Sermons to make an impact in the return game all season as he possesses a great mix of speed, agility, and acceleration.​

"In games like this you want your team to do the little things right, and I would like to think we did that. We will go back and look at the tape and work with our guys to get better. Nothing against Portland State, but we are going to play stiffer competition as the season progresses.​

UCLA will travel to 1-0 Troy next week which could be a good early test for the Bruins.​

Poor pass defense and poor quarterback play was too much for the Hawkeyes to bear on the road and they lost in Oxford to the #6 team in the nation. The Iowa defense kept the Ole Miss running attack in check but it was clear that the linebackers and secondary couldn't stay with the Ole Miss receivers. The middle of the field was there for the taking and screen passes worked well for the home team. The Hawkeye offense had success running the football but were playing from behind the whole game and redshirt FR QB Adam Reese played poorly in his first big game. Good game I Peench.
